    Apparently they power it from both ends. So the distance to maximum loss will be the halfway point. So very roughly about 16% loss from either end based on the HBE numbers you provided.

    Upping the voltage has limits because you’re actually powering repeaters along the cable.

    edit: Oop my bad. I thought this was about the proposed data cable. Not power.
